Well..... It looks like Rune has dropsy... His scales are raised a little, he isn't eating, and not active at all. I put him in his cup and I have the cup floating, so that he stays warm, but doesn't infect the whole tank. I just can't belive that one of MY fish has dropsy. :-( I guess all I can do is keep him warm and comfy? :-(
If it helps, I heard epsom salt is really good to help reduce the swelling. D: I'm treating my friend's fish for dropsy too... he doesn't seem to be doing so well though T_T; I just started treating him with Epsom salt, so I guess I'll have to wait to see if it makes a difference or not.
He was doing so well for a while, but now, I don't think he's gonna last much longer. He hasn't eaten in a while, and it getting skinnier from not eating. Also very lethargic.
